Journal Entry for May 24, 2007 Mood
Thursday, May 24, 2007

Today is my first day in this support group.  I am really struggling and depressed.  I suffer from bulimia and alchoholism.  I have 16 years of sobriety but can not get one day of positive eating.  I'm over-weight and obsess everyday about purging.  I do not actively purg but only because I have damaged my stomach so much I don't want anymore problems or meds.  

I started therapy two weeks ago and she suggested a support group so here I am.  I just wish I could be happy.  I also have fibromyalgia which is constantly irritated by the crappy food I eat.  It seems like I sabotage myself just so I can be miserable.  Why?

    I'm new to this support group too...just joing a couple of days ago and I'm hoping it will help when things get tough and I have no one to turn to. Congratulations on 16 years of sobriety!!! That's wonderful! Although I've had food/eating/body image issues my whole life, I'm purging more now as an adult than ever before. Your message is a warning to me about the damage I can (and probably already am doing) do to my body. I've also found that I'm drinking more lately. I used to never or very rarely drink. Now I find that if I can't purge I reach for the wine or vice versa. One or two nights a week of having a couple of drinks a week turned into 3 and 4 nights which is not like me. I think I'm guilty of self-sabotage as well. I'll deliberately eat something awful so I can give myself permission to abandon all hope of eating healthfully for the rest of the day. I'm in therapy too and it's a tremendous help. I hope you find support, reassurance and encouragement from this resource and your therapy.
